when propane prices were up I was spending on average $450 a month for 7 months to heat my house...that qualifies as earning a living in my book. I will not loan out my splitter or saws.

been burning almost 6 weeks now,have not used a single stick that I had cut for this season... been cutting up blown down ash(small non-splitting stuff) to get by. Should have enough of that to get me thru January unless we get to much snow.

There is a guy on Oak Grove south of Allen that gets a truck load every year. They unload it right there on the west side of the road...Might be worth knocking on his door and asking him where he gets it.

lol. I hooked the roller behind the golf cart last night and completely buried the GC. Still a bit wet even for that light thing.

:laugh:

Use to top off a 500 gallon propain tank every month in the winter,now we have a 100 gallon that we get topped every 2 years...

I wondered why Argo (etc) never went to Hydro. I read a article once were they stated they were worried about speed,heat and cost. Very interested to see how this turns out.

My 1" al/pex buried 4' started melting snow after 5 years. I made a 25' long insulated waterproof box with 2- 3/4 pex pipes in it,I have not noticed any difference between the 2. The box sits above ground and gets strung up in the barn rafters when we are not burning.

lol...I'm heating with a bed frame right now,been keeping us warm for almost 2 days. I am not out of good wood yet,our old king sized log bed frame was just about shot,so I cut it down to fit the OWB.

I love threads like this,they make me feel "normal"

I have seen a few pto pump units at repocast . com Never watched them because I have no use for one.

propane only runs the stove/oven. I used to test the furnace every fall but have not done that in a few years.

At the prices I'm reading about,I would be around that $1500 per month number. I dont remember exactly what we were paying per gallon but it averaged out to $450 per month for 6 months. Now we have a 100 gallon tank that we top off every 2 years.

Guess I had better gas up the 8N :mad:

lol.

I did not save the link,sorry.

I know which one you are talking about and I THINK I have the link saved at work. I'll look tomorrow.

This is why I store my generator in the walkout basement for the winter. I once parked my car next to the OWB and let it idle for 2 hours with just the pump wired into a small 12vdc-120vac inverter

yep,for sure. It did cause us to shop around and we ended up with Allstate at $200 cheaper on the homeowners and $900ish on the autos... for now.

I know when you have a trailer appliances need to be "rated" for mobile home use. Ours is a double-wide sitting on a walk-out basement,the furnace is no longer in the hallway closet it is in the basement and is a high efficiency propane forced air unit that is not rated for mobile home use BUT...
